If you are a parent, renting a game is sometimes a better option then buying. In this day and age there are some games that are not appropriate for young children. Every game has an ESRB rating (Entertainment Software Rating Board) that gives you an idea of what type of content you can expect in the game, but it does not go into full detail. Most of the ratings say mild sexual themes, partial nudity, violence, bad language, mild suggestive themes, but it never says to what extent. You could purchase a game that says violence but is that just shooting or is it chopping up body parts? There’s no real way to tell, until you actually play the game yourself. By renting a video game you can see all the game has to offer without spending a ton of money. If the game turns out to be unsuitable for your child, return it and you can choose another title.
